Description

Elevator machine brake control
The application is a divisional application of a patent application 'elevator machine brake control' (application number: 201810090696.X, applicant: Olympus Elevator company) with the application date of 2018, 1 month and 30 days.
Technical Field
The present invention relates to elevator machine brake control, and more particularly to elevator braking devices, methods of operating elevator braking devices, and elevator systems including elevator braking devices.
Background
Elevator systems include various devices for controlling movement of an elevator car. The elevator machine provides a force for moving the elevator car. Controlling operation of the machine is sufficient to accelerate and decelerate the elevator car between the stations in response to elevator calls. A machine brake is typically applied when the elevator is stationary at the landing to help hold the car in a desired position.
To solve the situation where the machine for some reason cannot control the movement of the elevator car, the elevator system comprises an emergency stop device, called a safety device. Many such stopping devices engage the guide rails to prevent the elevator car from moving in an undesirable manner. In some elevator systems, a machine brake associated with an elevator machine may be applied during an emergency stop. Given that the elevator car may move at an undesirably high speed just prior to an emergency stop, the forces associated with the emergency stop may cause discomfort and uneasiness to passengers.

Various features and advantages of at least one disclosed example embodiment will be apparent to those skilled in the art from the following detailed description. The drawings that accompany the detailed description can be briefly described as follows.

Fig. 2 schematically illustrates selected portions of an elevator system including an example braking device.
FIG. 3 is a flowchart summarizing an example brake control technique.
Detailed Description
Embodiments of the present invention provide for customized control of deceleration and braking forces associated with an emergency stop in an elevator system. The braking control is based on the current load of the elevator car and the resulting braking force is less likely to cause discomfort or uneasiness to the passengers in the elevator car.
Fig. 1 schematically illustrates selected portions of an elevator system 20. In this example, the elevator car 22 is selectively movable based on operation of the elevator machine 24 for providing elevator service between various landings. The elevator machine 24 rotates the traction sheave 26 to move the roping arrangement 28 when movement of the elevator car 22 is desired. Although a traction-based elevator system is shown in fig. 1 as an example embodiment, the present invention is not necessarily limited to only traction-based elevator systems.
A braking device 30 is associated with the elevator machine 24. The braking device 30 can be used to help keep the elevator car 22 stationary while parked at a landing. The braking device 30 in this example is also useful for emergency stops when the elevator machine 24 for some reason cannot maintain the desired control of elevator car 22 movement.
The brake controller 32 operates the brake 30 in a manner that controls the deceleration and force associated with the emergency stop during which the brake 30 is applied to prevent movement of the elevator car 22. The brake controller 32 utilizes information regarding the load of the elevator car 22 for the purpose of customized control of the brake devices 30. In the illustrated example, the load sensor 34 provides an indication of the load of the elevator car 22 to the brake controller 32. The brake controller 32 determines how to operate the brake device 30 based on the load information.
The brake controller 32 includes a computing device, such as a microprocessor, suitably programmed or otherwise configured to perform brake control as described in this document. In some embodiments, the brake controller 32 is a separate or dedicated device. In other cases, the brake controller 32 is part of an elevator drive or electronics that is also used to control the machine 24.
Fig. 2 schematically illustrates selected portions of an example elevator system 20. In this example, the braking device 30 includes a braking member 40, such as a machine brake disc. The plurality of brake actuators 42, 44, 46, and 48, respectively, apply a force to the brake member 40 to move the brake member 40 into a braking position in which the brake member 40 engages a portion of the elevator machine 24 to prevent movement of the elevator car 22. In this example, the braking member 40 engages a rotatable member of the elevator machine 24 and prevents rotation of this member of the machine 24, thereby preventing movement of the elevator car 22.
In this example, the actuators 42-48 comprise brake calipers, and the brake device 30 operates as a disc brake type device. Other embodiments include different configurations of the braking device 30.
The brake controller 32 obtains information about the load of the elevator car 22 from the load sensor 34. The brake controller 32 selects a certain number of the actuators 42-48 to activate to apply the selected braking force to produce a corresponding level of deceleration of the elevator car 22 during the emergency stop. In this example, the elevator controller 32 is programmed to identify whether the load of the elevator car 22 is within a predetermined range. When the load is within this range, the controller 32 activates the first number of actuators 42-48. If the load is outside this range and greater than the upper limit of the range, the brake controller 32 activates a second, greater number of actuators 42-48. In some examples, the brake controller 32 activates all of the actuators 42-48 when the load is outside of a predetermined range.
FIG. 3 is a flow chart summarizing one particular implementation. In this example, the brake controller 32 is programmed to use a plurality of ranges and different numbers of actuators depending on the appropriate position of the current load of the elevator car 22 within the ranges.
In fig. 3, at 50, the elevator controller 32 determines the load of the elevator car 22. In this example, the load determination is made each time the elevator car leaves a landing.
At 52, the brake controller 32 determines whether the current load on the elevator car 22 is less than or equal to 25% of the maximum rated operating load of the elevator car 22. If so, the controller 32 determines that one-half of the actuators will be activated in the emergency stop condition, as shown at 54.
Assuming the load is greater than 25% of the rated operational load, the controller 32 determines at 56 whether the load is between 25% and 50% of the rated operational load. If so, the controller 32 selects three quarters of the actuators to activate in the event of an emergency stop at 58.
In the example of fig. 3, the controller 32 determines at 60 whether the current load of the elevator car 22 is greater than or equal to 50% of the maximum operating load. In this condition, the controller 32 selects all of the actuators for the purpose of applying the machine brakes during an emergency stop, as shown at 62.
The manner in which the load of the elevator car corresponds to a certain number of brake actuators can vary between different elevator systems. In view of this description, those skilled in the art will recognize how to select an appropriate load threshold or range and a corresponding number of brake actuators so that the brake actuators can be appropriately programmed to meet their particular needs.
The disclosed example embodiments, as well as other embodiments, provide for selective control of operation of the machine brakes during an emergency stop condition. The amount of braking force and deceleration is selectively controlled in dependence on the current load of the elevator car. Such brake control allows reducing the forces experienced by passengers in the elevator car during an emergency stop.
The preceding description is exemplary rather than limiting in nature. Variations and modifications to the disclosed examples may become apparent to those skilled in the art that do not necessarily depart from the essence of this invention. The scope of legal protection given to this invention can only be determined by studying the following claims.
